Just as the J. C. Homan family

last Sunday morning they discovered
smoke issuing out through the brick
wall of their house. An alarm was
sounded and neighbors rushed to their
aid. A smouldering fire was found be-
tween the joist and plastering and the
flames were quickly extinguished with
the help of a bucket brigade. Had
the incipient fire not been discovered
at the time it was the chances are the
comfortable Homan home would have
gone up in smoke.
Last week J. H. McCracken and sis-
ter Mary visited friends in the Moun-
tain city. While there they learned

family of nine children.
pathies were aroused
Their sym-
and they
promptly sought out the family,
which is named Lebe, and brought
two of the boys, Richard and Mahlon,
along home with them.
John Quinn, of Pennsylvania Furnace,
George Lebe, and the three boys, all

ed such good homes.
Last Friday afternoon as Frank
Swabb and daughter Ruth were round-
ing the curve in the state road east of
town they collided with another car
containing Mr. Kauffman, of Zion,
and Clement Dale Esq., of Bellefonte.
Strange as it may seem, although

that place none of the occupants of
either car saw the other until the col-
lision occurred. Miss Ruth Swabb
was thrown through the windshield

The Swabb car, however, was badly

cheaper grades of fabric. On better

| Camp Dix, was home on a short fur-
i lough last week.
’Squire W. D. Herman and his esti-
mable wife will occupy Duncan’s new
brick house after April 1st.
Mr. and Mrs. Arch Irvin, of Belle-
fonte, spent a few days with the for-
mer’s parents, in this place.
Capitalist William Irvin has pur-
chased the small tract of land adjoin-
ing his premises. Abram V. Miller
made the transfer.
We are highly favored in our com-
munity since he coal mines have
adopted the slogan, “no beer, no coal.”
We have hundreds of loads of good
rock oak and white oak wood, cut to
stove length, on the various lumbez
jobs adjacent to Pleasant Gap.
Thomas Jodon, our hustling whole-
sale butcher, is doing a thriving bus-
iness. Besides supplying the peniten-
tiary with all its meat, he ships ex-
tensively to Lock Haven and other
points. He is now killing on an av-
erage of four to five cattle daily.
Our High school, now presided over
by Prof. C. L. Gramley, of Rebers-
burg, is progressing onward and up-
ward with gigantic strides. At a re-
cent debate on the topic of “Female
Suffrage,” four speakers on each side
participated. Each side acquitted it-
self admirably. The topic was thor-
oughly contested inch by inch, and the
final verdict of the judges was that
the advocates of Suffrage won. Pa-
trons and friends are invited to be
present on these entertaining occa-
sions, making it a rare treat for those
who believe that intelligence is the
life of liberty.
The venerable Mrs. Jonathan Bil-
ger, better known as “Grandmother”
Bilger, passed her 88th milestone on
Tuesday last, and it is a pleasure to
announce that she is as lively and
cheerful as many a young girl in her
teens. Mother Bilger reared a large
and honored family of boys and girls,
who make it a practice te call upon
her frequently, which calls are appar-
ently highly appreciated by the dear
old lady and no doubt have a tend-
ency of prolonging her life. How all-
powerful is the influence of a dear,
old mother, for whom domestic life
has a charm, the attachment of the
idols of her heart omnipotent though
imperceptible. May the life of the
good, cheerful old soul be extended
for many more years.
Pleasant Gap has a good, old-fash-
ioned Methodist revival in progress.
It has been going on nightly for the
past three weeks and the end is .not
yet in sight. Something like seventy-
five men and women have gone for-
ward with a view of leading a better
life. Much of the credit of this un-
precedented success must be attribut-
ed to the Methodist minister. The
veteran, enthusiastic, grand old man,
Rev. M. C. Piper, who conducted the
services for the first two weeks, re-
cently met with an accident and has
since been confined to his home at
Milesburg. However, the good work
continues. Rev. C. C. Shuey, Dr. Yo-
cum, Chaplain Young and others are
carrying on the meetings. Rev. Pi-
per has the sincere sympathy of our
entire community for his unfortunate
accident. He surely has numerous
friends in this community. He is a
teacher of taste and judgment, whose
well-balanced mind is controlled by

While Pleasant Gap is still holding
its own in a progressive sense things
are apparently slowing up. Our knit-
ting mill, which has been such a blegs-
ing to our town, is now running only
three days a week. The slump, it is
said, is caused on account of the short-
age of raw material. It is to be
hoped that this barrier will soon be
overcome and full time be again re-
stored. Our lime quarries, the main
industry of our community, which,
through the efficiency of first-class
management has made it possible to
give employment to all who needed
work and wanted work, are now oblig-
ed to run on half time, but it is
thought this is only temporary. Sev-
eral large furnaces have closed down
for necessary repairs which get lime-
stone from our plant, and as soon as
repairs are made orders will be renew-
ed nd conditions will again be nor-
mal.
